site:attach-descriptor

Full name:

org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-site-plugin:3.2:attach-descriptor

Description:

Adds the site descriptor (site.xml) to the list of
files to be installed/deployed.
For Maven-2.x this is enabled by default only when the project has
pom packaging since it will be used by modules
inheriting, but this can be enabled for other projects packaging if
needed.
This default execution has been removed from the built-in lifecycle
of Maven 3.x for pom-projects. Users that actually use
those projects to provide a common site descriptor for sub modules
will need to explicitly define this goal execution to restore the
intended behavior.
